Hello Parents,
Sunday was extremely busy in our classroom. Since last week we learned the whole story of Passover, this week we talked about what the term Seder means. (Your children will be able to explain to you what chametz means too). Seder is Order. We have a specific order in which we lead the Seder. Chametz is wheat bread that we can't eat on Passover.
We talked about what makes something chametz. In order for matza not to be chametz, it has to be in the oven for 18 minutes. If it is longer than 18 minutes it means then the dough becomes chametz and we can't eat it on Passover.
We made our very own book on Passover: ex (Seder plate, Seder plate what do you see) you could do this at your Seder dinner. The children also made their very own Afikoman bag. They had to do their own sewing with thread and they put jewels on them. We hope that you will enjoy their beautiful work!
Have a wonderful Passover Holiday!

Hello Parents,
We had a very busy Sunday morning. We started learning about the holiday of Passover. We acted out the whole story. How the Hebrews were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. How he made us work every day and every night. The Hebrews didn't even get paid for all their hard work.
God sent us Moses to get us out of slavery. But Pharaoh harden his heart and said, " No, No, No, I will not let them go!" There were 10 bad things that God did to the Egyptians, at the last plague the death of the first born sons ( of course we told the children, that the babies got sick) only then did Pharhoh let the Hebrews go!
This Sunday we will finish the story and bring home lots of Goodies.
Have a great weekend

Shalom To Our Gan Katan Families:
We had a fantastic time celebrating the Holiday of Purim! It was a lot of fun seeing our friends dress up.
Our morning was filled with fun things.
• First, we packed shaloch manot to our friends at Yad Ezra. Then we packed for our families.
• While we packed we also played really cool games with our friends.
• Then we went to the chapel and all the clergy were there dressed up as Trolls! It was very funny to see our Rabbis and Cantors wearing different color wigs and tutus! 😃
• We got to hear the Megillah and when we heard the name of Haman, we used our groggers that we made and shook them so hard to erase his evil name. ( Booooooooooo Haman). We got to dance around the chapel that was a lot of fun!
• We then ate cookies that had three corners, They were shaped like the hat that Haman used to wear. Boooooo!!!
It was a lot of fun celebrating Purim with your children! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!
Enjoy your families!!!
